Vacman 0 Posted June 9, 2014 Looked to me like he hit the step up hard with the rear and it compressed the suspension enough to throw him all the way over the bars. The front went over just fine but the rear pogo'd him into the air. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Crusty Posted June 9, 2014 Looked to me like he hit the step up hard with the rear and it compressed the suspension enough to throw him all the way over the bars. The front went over just fine but the rear pogo'd him into the air. I think he was sitting, that is why you stand when going fast. Seat bounce. Should have panic reved it.

Suspenders 43 Posted June 10, 2014 Not enough high speed rebound. I think he was off the seat? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tree 0 Posted June 10, 2014 This is funny to me because my buddy Javier came up to me this morning and said if you want to see a video of how you crashed in Baja when you broke your collar bone check out the crash from the Baja 500. He was behind me on the compadre trail when I apparently had the same kind of get off. All I remember was getting up off the ground. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Avocado 0 Posted June 10, 2014 Glad to see/hear he walked away. Strange crash, appear the front wheelied over the bump, rear straight up kicked like mule. He was partially standing... too much weight forward? Just goes to show how much rider influence is involved and the need for a properly set up bike. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikeslut 1 Posted June 10, 2014 he seemed to be in the correct position, but when the front came up he chopped the throttle, seat bounced up and sent him forward...he didn't try to correct it, but seriously... that was close for a while. Almost looked like he might pull it off... hope he's ok Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
